Gio Gonzalez limited the Braves to two runs over seven innings but suffered a loss in Tuesday's defeat. The southpaw struck out five while permitting six hits and a walk. It's a tough loss for Gonzalez, who was brilliant other than in the fifth, when he allowed three hits, a walk and both of his runs. The Nats are now five games under .500 and 14.5 behind the Braves. Gonzalez will take on the Giants at home next.
